Innovation in high-value products from agri-food residues
Join us in Beijing, China on April 7th-9th 2025 for a ground breaking event exploring the future of agricultural residues. Discover how cutting-edge science is transforming these materials into high-value bioproducts, proteins, and alternative materials for the agricultural and food sectors. Gather practical insights and get involved in our workshops, networking sessions and site visits.
The event kicks off in the afternoon of the 7th April and includes six sessions across two days, as well as optional visits. These will be led by academics, industry experts and policymakers.

Session 1: Vision and priorities of the circular economy in EU and China and co-funding opportunities
Session 2: Circularities and safety of innovative value chains of agricultural residues
Session 3: Eco-efficient recovery of native functionalities from agri-residues (e.g. plant-polyester, protein and polyphenol)
Session 4: Bioconversion of agri-residues into microbial and fungal proteins and microbial polyesters
Session 5: Upscaling biorefineries from and for the farming sector in frugal conditions
Session 6: Networking and brokerage session for business, science and policy, with a special workshop for young stakeholders
